  • Welcome to my channel! In this video, I’ll give you all the tools you need to become your own houseplant care expert. Whether you’re a seasoned plant parent or just starting your journey, this video will help you decode your plant's needs and ensure they thrive.
    Why Watch This Video?
    Many viewers have asked how I manage to find and care for lesser-known plants, especially when there's so little care information available. The secret lies in observing the plant’s structure and understanding its natural habitat. I’ll share my techniques and insights to help you do the same. 🌿✨
    Topics Covered:
    Understanding Natural Habitat:
    Discover how knowing a plant's natural habitat can give you clues about its care needs. For instance, plants from tropical rainforests may need more humidity and indirect light compared to desert plants.
    Interpreting Leaf Adaptations:
    Learn to look at leaf structures to understand a plant’s preferences. Velvety leaves might indicate a need for high humidity, while leathery leaves could suggest drought tolerance.
    Choosing the Right Substrate:
    Find out how to select the best soil mix by considering where the plant naturally grows. I’ll guide you on how to make informed choices that mimic the plant's native environment.
    Understanding Obligate Climbers:
    Some plants are natural climbers and need support to thrive. I’ll explain how to recognize these plants and what kind of support they need to grow happily.
    Analyzing Leaf Structure:
    Delve into how leaf shapes and textures can tell you more about a plant’s needs. This knowledge will help you provide optimal conditions for your green friends.
    Why This Video Is Perfect for You:
    Houseplant Enthusiasts: Whether you're just starting or have a growing collection, this video will deepen your understanding of plant care.
    Rare Plant Seekers: If you're on the lookout for unusual and rare tropical plants, these tips will ensure you’re ready to take care of your new acquisitions.
    Current Plant Owners: Enhance your existing plant care routine with new insights and techniques.

    Great video Memo 💚 I wish I had something like this when I was first getting started!
    To any beginners watching this, I would encourage you to keep the struggling plant. So long as it doesn’t stress you out too much. Remember growing plants should be fun 😊
    When I first started with plants, as soon as it turned into a less attractive version of the plant I brought home, I would give it away and think I couldn’t grow that type of plant.
    Once I started experimenting with my struggle bus plants, plant care really started to click. Did I lose some? Absolutely. Did I get too frustrated with some and called it quits before I figured out the plant, 100%. But I have learned SO much from my struggle bus plants. And I also realized there’s definitely an acclimation process for most plants coming into your home but many will sort themselves out as you get to know each other 🌱

      Thank you, Hallie! 💚 Your advice is spot on. 🌿 Plant care is a journey, and every "struggle bus" plant teaches us something valuable. Keep experimenting and enjoying the process! 😊🌱

    I’m a chronic underwaterer, but my baby Alocasias don’t appreciate that. I just tell them to toughen up! 😅

    • @Houseplantygoodness
      @Houseplantygoodness  8 днів тому +3

      Haha, love it! 😅 Alocasias can be finicky. Maybe a bit more water will make them happier! 🌿💧 or as you say they can toughen up 😂🌿💚💪

    Very helpful! I know that when I was a new beginner, I’d look up care guides for every specific species or variety of plant I bought. Then I started to realize that, say, if it’s a Philodendron with slightly velvety, dark green leaves, that likes to climb, the care is usually the same. Some genera are more varied, like Peperomia, but you can usually tell the care based on the thickness of leaves & stems and the colouring etc. So what you’re saying makes a lot of sense but you still gave me a lot of new information here!

      I've realised this over the past year how most of my plants have similar care because I gravitate towards similar types of plants

    Thank you for the fun and informative video. I live in a very small studio and can’t have big plants like you have. But I learn a lot. Many things I can use for the regular house plants I have (pathos, peace lily, I do have a whale tale and some small sundew carnivorous plants. But no big showy guys like you do. It is so much fun to see your real plants and not some to perfectly perfect Instagram photo. I like your the best. All the best to you and your many plants and pets. See you at your next video.😊

    I've been growing and researching plants for 50 years Memo and I can honestly say that your channel is one of the best I've watched. I'm sick of people asking me the same questions over & over while they have the Internet at their fingertips. Research is the only way people will succeed without killing plants along the way. 👍🪴

    I heard the first time about altitude in one of your videos and I am so glad, because I was about to buy an Anthurium regale and now know, that I don't have the conditions for it. Now I'm more on the lookout about altitude. Research is so important, especially before you buy a plant.
    I love this video on the morphology of plants to tell you what they need. It makes so much sense. But what I was wondering about: the velvet leaves protect them from high humidity, but they still need the humidity. The structure of the Alocasia protects it from staying wet, but it doesn't want to get wet? What if we get it wrong here, maybe it wants to get a spray down every now and then, because rivers also tend to spray water droplets, or something falls into the water and splashes onto the leaves. Why do we keep them dry if their whole morphology is adapted to get then dry quickly again?
    Maybe I'll try it with the Alocasia Dragon Scale, because it never is happy with the watering. Take the reservoir away and for every watering, I will put it under the shower.
    I'm curious to hear what you think.

    • @Houseplantygoodness
      @Houseplantygoodness  8 днів тому +1

      Great observations, Silvia! 🌿 Altitude and humidity are crucial. Your idea to experiment with your Alocasia Dragon Scale sounds intriguing! 🧐 The structure can sometimes mislead, so experimenting with showering it might provide new insights. Keep me posted on your results! 🌱✨

      Congrats on your new plants, Renee! 🎉 For the Philodendron Longilobatum, I hear it is very similar in its care to most climbing large leaf philodendrons, sadly I do not own it, but maybe someone in the comments does own it and can shed some light. Enjoy your growing collection! 🌿✨
